A new type of powered transtibial prosthesis was designed and fabricated. This device has reasonable size, weight and strength for daily use. In order to test the device on human subjects, a control algorithm and a control system are required. A two level control algorithm, which includes a higher level finite state controller and lower level PID controllers, is proposed and the configuration of this system is presented in this paper. An absolute encoder, a current sensor and two sets of force-sensing resistors are used to provide the feedback; a dSPACE system and MATLAB Simulink are used to realize the higher level control, and a DC motor controller is used to realize the lower level PID controller.
